lots of random this and thats.

---------------
this year, i told mr. anderson that all i wanted for christmas was to spend a day shopping with him (and only him---well, and maybe olive).

i felt really overwhelmed with trying to think of something that i wanted/needed...and i felt even more overwhelmed with trying to think of something to get mr. anderson for christmas.

i have it hard because his birthday is next week too.

so, i thought we decided on spending a day with each other, picking out some new clothes and maybe doing a little thrift store shopping.

little did i know that mr. anderson decided to really surprise me---and he got me an iPhone.

i had been wanting one (or any smart phone, really) for quite a while, but i was not expecting it at all.

so now, i'm quite obsessed with my phone...it's amazing all that you can do on it.

my #1 obsession? instagram.

a friend gave me her old iPhone a while back, and i've been using that to check my email whilst at home, but i couldn't fully use it because it wasn't my cell phone provider...so, i signed up for instagram a while ago, but wasn't using it to it's full amazing-ness.

Your family is beautiful. I read your blog all the time, yet the photos still catch me off guard! Even in these posed pictures, you can tell how much they all love each other. It's awesome.

Have fun with your iphone. I would like to say I'm above being in love with mine, but I'd be a liar. However, while I love the looks you can get with Instagram, and I like how easy it is to share pictures, it is really, really slow on my phone, so pictures of people always end up blurry. I guess I'll just have to marvel at how cute your kids look in Instagram photos!

I love the pic of your 3 little ladies. We struggle with what to buy each other for birthdays as well. So, instead of presents, we do a fun activity together. Really, all I want to do on my birthday is to spend it with my husband so it works out great.

I love all of your pictures of your beautiful kids together, they are just so adorable!! I'm glad you got the surprise of an iPhone! Your life will never be the same haha! Glad you had a merry Christmas! xoxo

I told my husband for my birthday all I wanted to do was go thrift store shopping/hopping (back in Oct) and it was one of the most fun birthdays ever. We did have Judah in tow but he was a good sport about it.

Your going to love IG, its a great community and you'll find some pretty neat mamas on there ;-)

Oh my gosh, congrats on the new iPhone!! My hubby surprised me with one back in May and I've been in love with it ever since. My newest obsession is instagram and I actually just wrote a whole post filled with pictures edited with the glorious ap! Well, I hope all of your kiddos stay healthy throughout the weekend and that you have a fun New Year's Eve! :)

Hey momma, your family is too dang cute!! As a fellow proud iphone owner may I advise you to download the free app, leme cam! Though there's no community and you can only use pictures taken using the app to create, it's aaaaamazing and you'll be hooked!

I love the new banner! Cute. I really love the pics of your kids. Great outfits, happy faces. I gave my husband an iphone too and he's equally obsessed, but not with instagram, more with apps like lightsabers, the talking cat and virtual beer. :) I've created a monster.

EMILY!! I got an iPhone for Christmas too!!!!! Brad totally surprised me!!!! Terribly obsessed at the moment and I even downloaded a breast feeding app since I'm miraculously exclusively breast feeding my one week old Noah ;)
